Anything by Nicki Minaj. Teaching inner-city middle schoolers, I had to sit and watch dozens of teenage girls look up to her and do everything they could to walk, talk, dress and act like her. Guess what? They all walked, talked, dressed and acted like uneducated clowns and it filled me with rage.

OK. This isn't specifically song-related, but someone's going to have to explain Taylor Swift's incredible popularity to me. She's a lovely girl, for sure--I think so. Her music's not my thing, but that doesn't mean she's not talented (assuming talent has anything to do with anything these days).

But, for the love of Eros, could she quit the incessant melodrama and whining to the public about her love life? I'm sympathetic to heartbreak and all, but God, she must have the neediest discography ever. She's 22 years old! COME ON!!! At this point a relationship that "sticks" could be a career-ender.
